Kevin Nolan wins CCC Player of the year
spongebob toonpants replied to DubiousBobcat's topic in Newcastle Forum
Its going to be interesting to see how many players we get into the team of the season - especially as all your pundits /opposition players and managers are always going on about how much quality weve got. Ironic really considering how much flack our support has always got for its unrealistic expectations, and even though we are accadaccering the League we seem to have a worse opinion of our players than everyone else -
Jan1st 1985 beat Sunderland 3-1, I vaguely remember we had a few players out through injury and was really worried we would get turned over. Beardsley hat trick - Garry Bennet sent off -marvelous. I saw us put 5 past ManU Pop Robson hat trick -but that was when I was young enough to think that was just expected
-
I understand why the way leazes puts his point and frustrates and annoys people, but for me it all boils down to the above which is indisputably true
-
you need your bumps felt
-
not really true though - lets look at the top 6 west brom drew away drew at home cardiff beat home and away leicester won at home drew away swansea beat at home drew away I'll give you we lost away at Forest thats not struggling in my book

Sorry like but a "good" Premiership team? GOOD? put Smith/guthrie/Barton in midfield and lovelyhands/Fenham Pele up front and you have a team who might be good enough to stay up, cetainly good enough to get back up if relegated. More than good enough and cheap enough to line Ashleys pockets. We are top of the Championship but as far as I am concered the future has never been so depressing
-
I dont disagree about the shiteness of the league, and I dont think the team is anything special, and I think Ashley is a cunt, but I dont think the team is any worse than last seasons bunch of shite - and they only got relegated because they really tried hard to. I think the current bunch might just be able to eke out enough points to stay up. The are probably better than Burnley and on a level with Bolton/Blackburn/Wolves /Portsmouth and certainly no worse tahn the other two teams who get promotion. We might stay up we might not, we will probably end up up yoyoing (?) between the prem and the championship with stupidly big crowds and Ashley pocketing a fortune. I almost hope we dont go up see what I mean

That's why i mentioned the other things, like you said in the players awards/teams of the year etc his name comes up, hes regarded as one of the best in one of the top leagues, which sort places him in the "one of the best in the world" list. Put it this way, there's not many teams in the world he wouldn't be the first choice keeper in.. Why mention it then? The other two things you mentioned don't make you world class either imo although it's a definition which is largely down to the individual so it's a bit moot. I really don't see how anyone could argue with the limitations Barney mentions though. This has been done to death anyway and I couldn't really give a fuck about Given's career any more. Given is like Hoddle or Owen, the absolute best shotstopper (passer - finisher) in the game, which obscures the lack of ability in the rest of his game which stops him from becoming anywhere near a great. I think we are a better team with Harper in goal
-
I can't speak for Rob W, but I must state in all honesty that I've always had difficulty in understanding the verbiage of mentally challenged people who should seek professional help in dealing with their infirmities. Suffice to say LeazesMag, I'm dreadfully sorry I have difficulty understanding you. what?1!??

01 Harper 05 Hall 06 Williamson 12 Simpson 14 Van Aanholt 04 Nolan 08 Guthrie 10 Routledge 18 Gutierrez 20 Besty 24 Carroll hughton signings this transfer window - won 5-1 , blokes is obv a genius
-
where is the astonished by lack of sales - underwhelmed by purchases option?
-
When does the window shut - Im frankly astonished we appear to have brought in a couple of decent championship players without selling anybody. Still time for a last minute "to good an offer to turn down" to happen, but atm the window hasn't been the abortion I expected. Mind you signing Wayne Routledge being good news still takes abit of getting used to. I thought the plan was to buy promising youngsters, not sign people with a great future behind them
-
(Shearer and Gazza apart) that sums up exactly how I feel
-
The most eagerly awaited since the last one. Despite the noises from Llambias/Hughton about strengthening and nobody leaving my spidey senses are expecting another transfer window from hell. Lets have your predictions for ins /outs net spend(lol)/ profit I fully expect one of S Taylor/Colo/Enriques to go, I wouldnt be surprised if someone came in for Nolan, and I think Carrol might be the subject of an offer "too good to turn down" As for incoming, persistant rumours about Kilgannon an Beckford. Very uninspiring but might happen to replace any of the above who depart. "Good Business" says DL Profit £7.5m (it costs him £20m a season you know. Just out of the goodness of his heart. Cunt)

Barton: Players 'detached from reality'

I enjoyed it. The plot was pretty much Pocohontas (bear i mind I havent seen Pocohontas so I'm guessing) I thought the 3d was 30% 70% impressive. The one big thing I didnt like was "unobtanium" - really, unobtanium, come on
